High speed performance

The HP Serial Console Servers provide near real time console performance allowing you to manage remote servers and serial managed devices such as network switches and routers simply and easily.

The Serial Console Servers are operating system and hardware independent so multiple server and device types as well as different operating systems such as Linux, Unix, and Windows 2003 with EMS can be managed from a single high performance remote console.


Increased efficiency

Increased efficiency, space utilization, and improved cable management throughout your heterogeneous data center.

Using a single network port and IP address the HP Serial Console Servers provides access to up to 16 or 48 servers or serial managed devices and high performance network access. Using third party telnet or SSH clients, users can access serial functions from their Windows or Linux workstations via a 100 mbps network connection. Two models are available providing either 16 or 48 device ports with both local and remote access. Each attached server or device requires a serial adapter.


Simplified cable management

Simplified cable management and network configuration that easily expands as your data center grows.

Uses unshielded CAT5 cabling between the servers or serial managed devices and the HP Serial Console Server. The cables can be purchased ready-made or field terminated to create custom lengths. CAT5 cabling provides several benefits-- the smaller, more flexible form factor facilitates routing through the rack and customizable lengths eliminate coils of cabling in the rear of the rack.

The Serial Adapter (SA) that connects from the CAT5 cable to the server or device serial ports are available in a variety of configuration including DTE and DCE as well as DB9 and DB25.
